This is a big fan of Madam Fomo so I thought I’d check her out.
I’ve watched a handful of her videos. She always sounds like she’s about to kill herself at any moment. REALLY difficult to watch.
If you’re depressed, if you have mental health problems, I’m totally sympathetic. Get the help you need and then come back to Youtube. In this case, as in many of these cases, I think getting a job would really help. I mean, she’s cranking out a video every day, usually like a three hour stream. That can’t be healthy. And she gets like 150 views on these things. And 25 Youtube bucks a month. Come on. Do something more fulfilling with your life. You’ll feel better.
0:00 – She starts by apologising for the late video. She had a lot of stuff suddenly pop up.
Then she apologises for the thunder. “It’s not my stomach. That’s that.”
0:30 – So she’s going to do like a review of a website. I guess. I think it’s a promotional website for this upcoming game. And she says, “I I usually don’t go to websites because that’s like middle school stuff.”
I have no idea what she’s talking about. Maybe it’s how like Facebook and Twitter and whatever have taken over and people don’t have personal websites any more. And websites broadly are probably less popular now than they were when she was in middle school.
Then she just reads what’s on the website. Her ability to read aloud is okay, I guess. Some people have embarrassing reading abilities but she’s doing just fine. But…yeah, this is boring.
Come on. I’m five minutes in and she’s still just reading the website. I’ve scanned the rest of the video and that seems to be all that this is.
Did I mention that she wears cat ears?
Let me check out her Twitter. Just a bunch of video game shit.
I don’t get it. When I was a kid, I enjoyed video games but I had other interests too. This is like fucking autism.
And this isn’t even a kid. She’s 26 years old. When I was 26, I was out there doing shit. Living in some dump in London. Looking for work every day. Entertaining the ladies. I wasn’t sitting in my parents’ basement playing fucking video games.
A lot of these “gaming” “Youtubers” seem to be like this. What about playing video games but also doing other stuff? A healthy balance.
I just don’t get it. I’ve enjoyed video games my entire life but I have zero video game toys, apparel, or general “memorabilia” and never had any of this stuff. Who the fuck needs this nerdy shit?
It’s so that when you make “gaming” videos on Youtube, you can have this shit in the background or on your person to show what a “gamer” you are.
Or maybe it’s a generational thing. It’s “cool” to be a “gaming” nerd these days, particularly if you’re female, so this is all part of the aesthetic. It’s just fashion. You can be a goth or you can be a “gamer”.
This seems like a nice enough woman but do we need 100 videos on Animal Crossing? Show off some of your other interests. Non-“gaming” interests.
This is why I enjoy KathleenMMS, even though I don’t watch her videos. The videos that I have seen of hers showcase her other interests. Sure, she enjoys video games but she’s also gay and REALLY enjoys talking about that. She also has a pet. She teaches English. She travels. It’s a full, healthy person. Well, maybe not healthy.
So many of these “gamer” channels are like, “Oh, here’s this super cool game! And OMG I’m really excited for this upcoming game! And here’s my Amibo collection!” Get out of the fucking house, you loser. Go look for a job.
